  • Title: [Case in point: allergy, intolerance or pseudoallergy to chocolate?].
    Author: Cantani A, Ferrara M, Vazzoler C.
    Journal: Riv Eur Sci Med Farmacol; 1989 Jun; 11(3):247-9. PubMed ID: 2701027.
    Abstract:
    Chocolate is traditionally considered as allergenic for predisposed subjects although many immunologic reactions are erroneously evaluated as allergic, due to misleading procedures. Therefore the term intolerance has been more properly employed. After summarizing the negative effects of chocolate, especially in children, we stress that the diagnosis of chocolate intolerance should be based upon reliable studies, including elimination/provocation tests in a double-blind fashion.
